On Thursday, the Injective team announced via X that its native $INJ token is now live on Solana via Raydium, StonkFun, Jupiter Exchange, and Pump.fun. With this launch, users can now buy INJ tokens via various Solana apps, launch new tokens paired with
$INJ and build beyond possibilities.
Injective also provides a next-generation, highly interoperable smart contract platform based on Wasm 2.0, with advanced interchain capabilities. Injective utilizes a custom implementation of the Tendermint Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, providing instant transaction finality with lightning speed – sub-second block times (0.6s) while sustaining enormous throughput (25,000+ TPS). Injective is currently also leading new forms of innovation across a number of verticals, such as its pioneering work to integrate artificial intelligence with on-chain finance.
Injective has achieved a historic milestone of over 1 billion transactions to date, with one of the fastest chains built to date. The Injective ecosystem includes 100+ projects and over 500,000 community members globally. Injective was originally incubated by Binance and is also backed by a group of prominent investors, including Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto, and Mark Cuban.
Injective is an open, interoperable layer-one blockchain for building powerful DeFi applications. Injective uniquely provides plug-and-play financial infrastructure primitives, such as a high-performance on-chain decentralized exchange infrastructure, decentralized bridges, oracles, and a composable smart contract layer with CosmWasm. INJ is trading at $5.18, up 5.2% in the last 24 hours.
Solana is an integrated, open-source blockchain that synchronizes global information at the speed of light. The network is focused on fast transactions and high throughput to encourage mass consumer adoption of blockchain technology.
Solana is a highly functional open-source project that banks on blockchain technology’s permissionless nature to provide decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. While the idea and initial work on the project began in 2017, Solana was officially launched in March 2020 by the Solana Foundation with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Solana protocol is designed to facilitate decentralized app (DApp) creation. It aims to improve scalability by introducing a proof-of-history (PoH) consensus combined with the underlying proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus of the blockchain.
Because of the innovative hybrid consensus model, Solana enjoys interest from small-time traders and institutional traders alike. A significant focus for the Solana Foundation is to make decentralized finance accessible on a larger scale.
SOL is up 4.8% in the last 24 hours and trades at $104.65.
